Exploring and Learning about Dinosaurs

Many children are fascinated by dinosaurs and we offer opportunities to play with the small world dinosaurs and also to read both fiction and non-fiction books about them. Why not try learning some of the dinosaur names and you can try clapping out the syllables or finding out some facts about them? We created a fantastic indoor sand pit with dinosaurs which the children loved exploring and which encouraged both sensory play and imaginative play. Adults could help children develop stories about dinosaurs and could also help them learn about what they ate and what special features they had. As part of home learning we are adding some fact videos about different dinosaurs so please do watch them together. There are a couple of examples below and you will find more on the Learning at Home Blog posts.
